Can ps3 games play on a PS4?

Answer 1

yes can not be verified

Nothing released under the specifications says that it will be backward compatible and the Dual Shock 4 controller is not backward compatible for the PS3 and required for the PS4

its official that the new ps4 will be backwards compatible, this also means that most ps4 games could be played onto the ps3. No that is not what backward compatible means but sooner or later down the round the ps4 will make "playstation exclusive" for the ps4 only. this is just my opinion but knowing Sony they will do something like this. Your information was never correct PS4 games will be designed for the greatly expanded capabilities of the PS4 and will not be playable on a PS3 ever. The term backward compatible refers to newer consoles having the capability to play games from the older consoles

Answer 2

No because the PS4 may never be released and if it is the PS3 games will be too difficult to make work in a new system. Both Xbox/Microsoft and Sony/PS2 have already learned how many problems come from trying to make a console play games in a new machine. They also learned that the Game designers may not always give approvals and allow software development

Answer 3

No when they release a PS4 it will not play PS3 games. Console manufactures can not make a device that can run both consoles software without having problems. That resuults in complaints and customer disatifaction. Customers only care that the title they wanted to play is having problems. They don't care that the company that designed the game will not help to fix the problem for free like they would have to for the PS3 game console. The company may not even be in business any longer or may have merged with a new company. Sony learned there lesson on all the problems still facing them from the PS3 models that were sold as playing PS2 games.

The PS4 has of course never even been announced as the next product name and will definitely not be released in 2012.

Answer 4

No
